It shows the S as being slightly shallower, although you have to look *very* closely.
Put the "M" on the left, then the "M" on the right, then toggle the left between the "M" and the "S" to see the difference.
(Toggle the *left* because it will automatically be in the same position when a new outline is chosen)

It also shows the Bach 7D and 7E as being smaller diameter as Bach 7, although Bach claims that they are the same diameter.

How accurate is the Comparator?
I don't know, but I rely on it a lot.
Even if it iwere to have an error + or - 5 percent it is still a big help.

I always keep in mind that Kanstul was measuring just one mouthpiece and there is no guarantee that the individual mouthpiece is truly representative of all mouthpieces bearing that size number.
